Good question...if there is any substantial delay, you should put a powerhead, heater and possibly an air stone in the tubs to keep things happy and...
Adding light can most certainly cause the coralline on your rocks to fade out. I went through the same thing when I replaced my power compact...
Well, get some buckets and large (30 gal) tupperware containers (Sterlite or other cheap brands are fine). Use the large containers to hold corals,...
I just switched from Kent to Instant Ocean Reef Crystals. Not sure if I'm happy with RC yet (only been 2 weeks), but the magnesium/Ca/Alk levels are...
I haven't seen my RBTA go bubbly in quite some time, but seems perfectly happy. Just the way it goes I guess.
Congratulations Fishez!!! Enjoy the sweet nano! :) 8)
I don't usually cover mine as it will close up pretty quickly when food is squirted on it. Another idea is to feed the fish and shrimp, crabs etc....
Well, the tank in the garage gets a 40 gallon sump this week, does that count? ;)
Small tentacles are completely normal and is how these corals hold on to the food you give it. I almost guarantee that with some feeding, especially...

Engineer gobies need to have a deep sand bed to be happy as they love to burrow. They are interesting fish, but do grow large rather quickly and can...
My local MAS recently had a frag swap and all of my leathers were traded for LPS, SPS or cash! :) Since my tank has become SPS dominated, I wanted...
LOL...I remember the countdown bot..that was quite useful..and good for staring at to waste the days away! ;D
I use a cordless dremel with a diamond cutting wheel to frag all kinds of stuff. Bone shears can be quite handy also. ;)
No phytoplankton here, but they are in my refugium which is absolutely teaming with mysis shrimp and various pods. I'm sure there is plenty to eat...
I tend to use a cyanocrylate gel made by Loctite (comes in a nice dispenser) to attach frags to bits of LR rubble, then use epoxy to attach them to...
